Dog's Life Lyrics

My cases sit right in front of me
Waiting for someone to take my away
Alone I sit my pills are kicked in
See I'm a dog
And I'm locked in my cage
Eyes are red, Tongue is hanging out
Thirsty as shit I'm still a dog
Fleas don't itch I got a bath the other day
Before this trip, wonder where were going
Toys are packed see my bed is in
My two bowls are somewhere in reach
I'll scratch with rage until I find a way
To get through this cardboard that sits under me
It's cold down here, a bumpy ride

My seats not first class, man's best friend
I feel befriended this is a dog's life
O.k we're here, things are ok again
A brand new lawn just to welcome me here
Scratch my ears and I'll chase down your ball
Looks like this new place will be home
For now it won't take much to go
to sleep after going through all this
Wake up tomorrow and we'll do it again
Living a dog's life.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song... I think the meaning is pretty obvious... a Dogs Life. I can't believe these guys aren't getting more views... they are so very talented.

yeah, dogs....

but without getting all 'peta' in here, its also about how dogs are often treated as an 'object' rather than an animal that they truly are.
